A biometric services platform is ideal for application-based requirements, such as collection of biometric data throughout a vast distributed network, and the consequent analysis, distribution, processing, sharing, and matching of the data. A biometric services platform uses open-source components, extensively, and is usually in compliance with the J2EE standards. A common biometric services platform applies multiple mechanisms for the security of access, communication, and data. A biometric services platform offers a foundation for the basic enrolment, verification, and identification of individuals having multiple roles.

A logical access module integrated in a biometric services platform provides user data access, which allows both, specific data security and UI level security, based on individual roles and user groups within the network. This entails that, the biometric services platform can be programed to provide resource access to an individual or a group of individuals with a specific role. If needed, end users can also access the de-duplication and blacklisting features of their biometric services platform, which enables reliable access declination in the case of duplicates and banned individuals.

Companies, such as Invixium, are incorporating the concept of biometric services platforms to develop IoT-enabled biometric products for time management and access control in smart homes and buildings. The company offers its customizable IXM software ecosystem as a biometric services platform for the residential, commercial, and industrial sectors.
